Valtellina Casera is a derivation of the original Bitto recipe, made at lower altitudes all year round.
This Cheese is produced ony in Valtellina, because of its geographic isolation,
the Valtellina region has retained the richness of its soil and the heritage of its
food products. High up in the Italian Alps, Valtellina has a micro-climate all its
own. Frigid in the winter, beautiful in the summer, it is a difficult place to live year
round. The famous cheese from Valtellina is called Bitto, but because of the
violent climatic fluctuations of the Valtellina region, Bitto can only be made during
four months out of the year. Valtellina Casera is a derivation of the original Bitto
recipe, made at lower altitudes all year round. Like Bitto, this cheese has a
wonderfully tangy FLAVOR and is made from local milk that possesses hints of wild
grass and herbs native to the Valtellina. If you are unfamiliar with this pure
mountain cheese, you will definitely be in select company once you have tasted
Valtellina Casera.
Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.
